Description: KDE Display Manager for X11
 KDM manages a collection of X servers running on local or remote machines. It allows users to easily log into their preferred
 desktop environment, connect to a remote XDMCP server, or shut down the system. 
 
 KDM supports custom themes and can display a list of users with icons. Additional user icons can be found in the 'kdepasswd'
 package. 
 
 This package is part of the KDE 4 base workspace module.

I cannot get anything out of /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog but I
do see a message something about /var/run/kdm not getting a pid . Going
to /var/run/ doesn't show me any kdm.pid then does it appear while
shutting down the system.
